The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne,

Looking through the arch to the Collingwood Memorial.
Lord Collingwood was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, the son of a merchant. He attended the Royal Grammar School and joined the Royal Navy as a volunteer at the age of 12. From there he continued his nautical education under his cousin Captain Richard Brathwaite. After serving in the British Naval Brigade at the Battle of Bunker Hill, Collingwood was commissioned in 1775 as a lieutenant. His first command was HMS Badger, after succeeding Horatio Nelson, and later his first major command was HMS Sampson. During the Battle of Trafalgar, in October 1805, Collingwood assumed command of the British fleet after the death of Lord Nelson, transferring to HMS Euryalus. Collingwood then led the fleet and completed the battle plans that he and Nelson had created together. Thus securing victory.
Collingwood was then appointed to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet. but died of cancer five years later and was laid to rest alongside Lord Nelson in Westminster Abbey, London.
